West Control Solutions, a global specialist in temperature and process control, has released new technical guidance on controller specification. The whitepaper is the latest in a series of useful downloads designed to give engineers practical advice for their temperature control applications.

When specifying a new controller there are a number of key issues to consider to ensure that it meets the application’s demands together with necessary cost considerations. Titled ‘Controller Specification’, the paper covers critical subjects to consider, starting with the level of user interaction and the interface required before considering the choices of control types available. The whitepaper then discusses options surrounding the mechanics, installation and configuration.

With a logical, step-by-step style, the paper outlines the key questions that engineers should ask themselves during specification and provides direction on how the answers to those questions might affect their choice of controller.
